2012 MOUNT LANGI GHIRAN Langi Shiraz - Xanadu Wines
2012 MOUNT LANGI GHIRAN Langi Shiraz Winemaker Comments Good spring rains led into a dry summer and a long warm ripening season. The grapes for the 2012 Langi Shiraz were harvested over successive passes through the old block over 10 days, where there is careful attention paid within the vineyard to slope, sun, wind and warmth. Through meticulously hand selection only the finest parcels of grapes are picked, leaving a considerable portion of fruit on the vine. This careful process responds to the natural variation within the vineyard block. This wine includes a whole bunch maceration component, which builds on the perfume, delicate aromatics and tannin structure. The 2012 Langi Shiraz is showing depth and character that will only build in the coming years.
